Skibbereen Rowing Club is a voluntary organisation catering for people of all ages, male and female, in the sport of flatwater rowing.

Founded in 1970, the club became affiliated to the Irish Amateur Rowing Union (I.A.R.U.) in 1971. Since then the success of the club is manifest by competition at local, national and international level. Located just outside Skibbereen, the club is based on the banks of the River Ilen, a protected stretch of water second to none. As they say about us: “There must be something in the water”, for Skibbereen Rowing Club is the most successful club in country, with 195 national titles we are the leaders in the overall national titles record.

The development of Skibbereen Rowing Club into the major force that it is in Irish Rowing today is due to the vision and hard work of many people, who still work tirelessly to maintain its many successes. The club is managed by a committee comprising of Chairperson, President, Treasurer, Secretary, PRO, Captain, Head Coach and coaching committee, as well as committee members. As a totally voluntary organisation, many fundraising events are organized throughout the year to provide the money necessary to fund the top class racing boats and training equipment demanded by top athletes, as well as covering the day to day running costs of the club itself.

We kindly ask for your support in donating to the Skibbereen Rowing Club. As a pivotal part of our community, our club thrives on the dedication of its members and the generosity of supporters like you.

While we do our best to sustain our activities through membership fees and available grants, your contributions play a crucial role in helping us continue our mission. Your generosity enables us to maintain our facilities, provide quality training for our athletes, and foster a spirit of excellence and camaraderie in the sport of rowing. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact and is greatly appreciated.

Together, we can continue to nurture and grow this wonderful sport in our community.
